Hydraulics Laboratory Stratified Flow Channel Pumps History Douglas Alden Senior Development Engineer Hydraulics Laboratory Technology Application Group Integrative Oceanography Division Scripps Institution of Oceanography UC San Diego 4 Apr 2014 The Hydraulics Laboratory Stratified Flow Channel (SFC) was developed to enhance the understanding of fluid mechanics crucial to many ocean processes and studies. It was dedicated 4 Jun 1982. HLab lore had it that the two pumps used for the channel were surplus US Navy inventory out of a WWII Destroyer. Recent research has determined that the pumps did come from a US Navy Fletcher-class Destroyer. A letter from Mr. Charles E. Pybas from Warren Pump Houdaille, Warren MA to John Powell dated 5 June 1980 included documentation on the pumps which were part of an order of 25” Main Condenser Circulating Pumps delivered to the US Navy during the height of WWII. The pumps were delivered to the US Navy for DD-554 – hull 11 to DD-568 – hull 25 over the time period from 1 Oct 1942 to 1 Aug 1943. John Powell inspecting the SFC (undated).

The name plates are missing from the two other pumps in the Hydraulics Laboratory inventory. From Wikipedia entry USS Ross (DD-563): “USS Ross (DD-563) was a U.S. Navy Fletcher class destroyer named for Captain David Ross, a former Continental Navy lieutenant. The Ross is the only ship in U.S. naval history to survive two underwater mine explosions. The Ross was laid down on 7 September 1942 by the Seattle-Tacoma Shipbuilding Corp., Seattle, Washington and launched on 10 September 1943, sponsored by Mrs. William J. Malone. She was commissioned on 21 February 1944, Commander Benjamin Coe commanding. She completed shakedown off California in early May 1944 and on 5 May sailed for Pearl Harbor. On 29 May she sortied with Task Force 52 (TF 52) for Eniwetok, whence the fleet sailed for Saipan and the beginning of the Marianas Campaign.”2 Bibliography: 1. NavSource Naval History.

Telephone (217) 785-7955 Pogue: My name is Phil Pogue. I’m doing the interview today. It’s December 4, 2007, and we’re in rural Harvard, Illinois, and we’re interviewing Mr. Leonard Beetstra. We will be conducting this interview under the auspices of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library. At this time, Leonard, would you give us a little background about your parents and how you came to Harvard? Beetstra: My parents came to Harvard, Illinois probably in about 1920, maybe 1921, after World War I, and they were dairy farmers. Leonard’s father, Jacob, came in 1912 and homesteaded in Montana. He had a one-hundred-sixty-acre claim out there before WWI. Then when he came back from WWI, he got discharged in Fort Lewis, Washington. I guess he was lonesome, and he went back to Holland and married my mother. They came here, and she decided she didn’t want no part of Montana. So they had some friends in the Harvard area, and that’s where they made their home.

    Not for Publication Until Released by the House Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces

    NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNTIL RELEASED BY THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE SUBCOMMITTEE ON SEAPOWER AND PROJECTION FORCES STATEMENT OF THE HONORABLE SEAN J. STACKLEY ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY (RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION) AND VICE ADMIRAL JOSEPH P. MULLOY DEPUTY CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS FOR INTEGRATION OF CAPABILITIES AND RESOURCES AND LIEUTENANT GENERAL ROBERT S. WALSH DEPUTY COMMANDANT COMBAT DEVELOPMENT AND INTEGRATION & COMMANDING GENERAL, MARINE CORPS COMBAT DEVELOPMENT COMMAND BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON SEAPOWER AND PROJECTION FORCES OF THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE ON DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY SEAPOWER AND PROJECTION FORCES CAPABILITIES FEBRUARY 25, 2016 NOT FOR PUBLICATION UNTIL RELEASED BY THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE SUBCOMMITTEE ON SEAPOWER AND PROJECTION FORCES Chairman Forbes, Ranking Member Courtney, and distinguished members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to address the Department of Navy’s seapower and projection forces capabilities. The Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 President’s Budget submission is governed by the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), which implements the 2012 Defense Strategic Guidance (DSG) and continues our efforts to ensure our ability to protect the homeland, build security globally, project power and win decisively. As described in the Chief of Naval Operations’ A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority and the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Advance to Contact, today’s strategic environment is dramatically more globalized with accelerating change. Global connections continue to multiply, fueled by rapid advances and proliferation in technology, particularly information technology. Our competitors are pursuing advanced weapon systems at levels and a pace of development that we have not seen since the mid-1980s.

    USS PRICHETT LOOK out Jan 2011

    JANUARY 2011 Volume IV Issue III USS PRICHETT DD-561 REUNION ASSOCIATION LOOK OUT Prez Says WE ARE ON THE WEB www.ussprichettdd561. Hello Shipmates and Friends, I hope this finds everyone healthy, happy and warm. We have the happy part down, Mary Ann blew the healthy part (flu) and it definitely is not warm here. Another year is underway. This year we are going to push everyone to recruit missing shipmates. We know they are out there and some of you may have leads to find them. We have too many shipmates in our directory that have not shown any interest in the Association or attending the reunions. We need to put a hand out to them and bring them back on board. At the present it looks like the officer’s board meeting will be the last weekend of February and probably in Tunica, Mississippi. I believe most of the board plans on arriving on Friday night but we may not be able to make it until Saturday. If you are in the area stop by and say hello. The hotel has not been picked yet so give me a shout when it gets closer and I will have the details. This year we are planning on setting up our ship store on our web site. You will be able to view what we have and then give us a call and we will get it out to you. There are a lot of sweatshirts in the store that feel pretty good right now along with some jackets.
